Chapter 253 - A Surprise? (2/2)

“Honestly speaking, ere all surprised from the start However… there’s no proble technique superb, but she also painted quickly too She only needed two to three hours to co these days, our relationshi+ps with Christie became much closer… Of course, don’t worry, Mr Rhode, because Lize has been looking after her to ood to know”

Rhode heaved a sigh of relief Sensing the change in Rhode’s expression, Marlene let out an inward sigh

e es, but she quickly kept it down

“Other than this, is there anything else?” said Rhode

“Huh?” Marlene’s expression changed slightly and she frowned as she recalled

“… To be honest, there indeed was so out a long sigh

“I think Mr Rhode should see it for himself”

Compared to the past, Christie’s rooe wooden paint rack had been placed before the bed with a wide variety of colours placed in it White canvas filled the room Some were sketches while others were co Rhode to Christie’s roo conditions

“I guess you have already seen the paintings by Christie, Mr Rhode”

“That’s right”

Rhode nodded to Marlene and asked strangely

“Are there any issues?”

“There is… and there isn’t too…”

Marlene seemed to find it hard to speak about this, which confused Rhode even more In the end, she approached the canvas and passed one of thes, Christie has painted so else…”

Rhode took over the scroll and unrolled it He knitted his brows

Much different fro scenery, the scroll in Rhode’s hand was totally different Withered, pitch-black creviced land spread under the bloody red skies, and the surrounding hastly white bones Red streams flowed down like blood or lava In the distance, an indistinct, tall building appeared behind thesense of loneliness and darkness

“Not only that, but these also…”

Rhode took over the other scrolls one by one The paintings were virtually the same except for some minor details: a broken palace built on a pile of countless white bones, an unidentified being hanging on the branch of a dead withered tree, a pitch-black deep river converging into a lake Everywhere was filled with struggling, hopeless arms

“These were also painted by her?”

Rhode finally understood why Marlene was uneasy If these paintings belonged to the i To be honest, Christie’s painting technique was excellent that at the first glance, one would even think they were looking at a scenic photograph And because of that, no s, they weren’t similar to pure art, but were more like a projection of some other world

“Yes, but Christie didn’t seeot Lize to ask her, but Christie was confused too From her explanations, these sceneries seemed to just appear in her mind Mr Rhode, I’m worried… Besides, Christie sees There were a few times when she couldn’t sleep because she was scared by her own paintings This…”

Rhode focused his attention on the painting before his looked realistic, but he also felt that he had been to these places before

Where exactly were these places?

Rhode rotated the scrolls in his hands, trying to figure out the locations

But before Rhode was able to figure out anything, Gillian jumped to his side She scanned the scroll on his hand and her ears twitched slightly

“Gosh Isn’t this the Infernal Abyss?”
